But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality; for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak; and He will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine; for this reason I have said that He receives of Mine and will declare it to you.

Just take God's life

The title of the lesson book in the Summer School of Truth is: "knowing and experiencing Life." As the lessons in this book taught us, we cannot experience life until we know what Life is. Before, I only had a vague concept of what the eternal life is. I had thought that it was only what saved us from death, what made us love God, that it lasted forever for our enjoyment with God, and nothing more. But I now know and appreciate how great this life is! This is the eternal, incorruptible, uncreated, indestructible life of God.

With this life we can deal with and overcome negative things such and flesh, the world, individualism, division, and the natural constitution. How rich and magnificent this life is!

Without God's life, I can never satisfy God. I need to consecrate myself completely to God. I need to deny my flesh and give up the world and self. I need to turn to God always and take His life instead of my own.

Everything is in this life. It will fulfill all our needs and we will never have to strive in vain for our natural life anymore. Our natural life is incurable, hopeless, and weak, so why can't we drop this worthless life to gain a life that is priceless, rich, and endlessly valuable? Just take God's life! Oh Lord Jesus! I can't do it on my own! I need Your eternal life!

God really loves us! Why don't we take in His life today?! We just need to set our minds on the Spirit! The mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace! I want life and peace!

Oh Lord, I just want to submit to you! It is wonderful to be constrained by your authority! Oh Lord, thank you for your marvelous authority! Oh Lord, I love you for your authority! And thank you Lord that I can submit to you by turning to the submissive one in me! Oh Lord, I just want to enjoy You and Your life and let Your life flow into me!
